Why extra baggage fees change
Airlines do not use one universal extra bag price. Your baggage cost can change based on your destination, whether bags are prepaid online or paid at the airport, whether your ticket already includes checked luggage, how many checked bags you bring, and whether any bag is overweight or oversized.
